"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

Those Rose Vestments Get Another Outing...

Those infamous rose vestments (courtesy of The Tablet) made another appearance today. They really are rather splendid! Many, many thanks to Fr. Z and Damian Thompson for their campaigns to raise the funds!!

Anyhow, I decided that I wanted some more photos, especially as we were once again privileged to have a Solemn High Mass...

Nice to see real rose. I did go to the EF (low mass) yesterday, just because it was Laetare SUnday. Also no rose -- the shade of vestments the parish inherited from the Latin Mass Society (when it was disolved after the parish of St. Anne's was given over exclusively to the EF form of Mass) is decidely PINK. And I don't blame father for not wearing it, after having seen it! [The cope had made an appearance at the high Mass on Gaudete Sunday for the Asperges, but the priest who'd said that Mass can only wear that color for so long until assuming transmogrification into an Easter Bunny - so I didn't blame him either for not wearing the pink chasuble, etc. when he changed out of that cope.] I'm sure they'll eventually acquire a proper set, but after the renovations for a nearby house the church is modifying in order to have more office/classroom space. Priorities and all that.

About Me

I was about to describe myself as a young Catholic woman, but alas, that is no longer strictly true (two out of three isn't bad)!
I came back to the Church 22 years ago after what I consider to be a Damascus Road conversion, and
I'm fairly traditional in my outlook.
I am a single woman living and working in the world (as a Science teacher), and I took private vows in December 2002.
